Re: The Millennium Falcon (Complete)
How many times have you asked me again?  Quit it.
Only two or three times, man. But you never responded so what was I to think?

That's kinda like asking when a mod is gonna be done. What kind of answer were you expecting?

For one wallpaper? How about, "I'm not done with it yet, but it's coming" or "I've decided to put it off to continue working on the mod". It's not that big a deal, but cut me some slack for not being in the loop.

Re: The Millennium Falcon (Complete)
For those who are complaining about the Falcon not being dirty enough, it's probably just the lighting in the shots I've posted, which have been based off of brightly lit movie stills.  Here's another based off a still with lower lighting.

Yep. There she is. The most beautiful hunk-a-junk in the galaxy! :nod:

I think she looks gorgeous, brand. The dirt/scorch mark detail is spot on. :yes:

LODded, converted, committed. Certainly the toughest one I've ever converted; the turrets and thrusters weren't exactly trivial to get to look and work right.

As for the turrets: you can choose whether to let the gunners fire at will or whether to fire them forward manually. You choose by selecting one of the two available primaries; if you have the "gunner control" primary selected then the gunners will operate the turrets, or if you switch to the "manual control" primary, the turrets will reset to pointing forward and you can fire them with your primary trigger. I'm going to also look into whether it's feasible to add fake comms menu entries for the gunners so you can actually easily tell them to, for example, fire on a specific target.

This is what it looks like in-game. Ambient lighting is 70.

Here's a couple more screenshots. TopAce, I think you forgot to turn normal maps on. :D

FXAA doesn't seem to be on in mine, though.

Re: The Millennium Falcon (Complete)
Yes, sorry. I forgot I had a stupid, slow machine and I can't afford all the FSO graphical enhancements.

Re: The Millennium Falcon (Complete)
Is it just me, or does the FSO rendering engine not do Brand's model proper justice?

 
Re: The Millennium Falcon (Complete)
Hmm, nice work on the thruster. That must be a whole lot of thruster points, hmm?

Probably the resolution of the maps, they seem to have been significantly scaled down from the render.

Fifty-nine. ;) Unfortunately, it can't be a lot less without the glow turning all bumpy when seen from above or below.

Re: The Millennium Falcon (Complete)
A slightly better shot here showing some more detail and the like, I don't think it looks too bad at all...

Re: The Millennium Falcon (Complete)
Much better.  :D That first set of screenshots just didn't bring out the details as much as that last one. Also, love the shadow from the Falcon's main dish. *props to Val*

It also looks like the FSO version isn't using the height maps that the rendered version gets so much of its detail from. IIRC heightmaps look very good for that type of detail at anything less than maximum resolution.
